How it works

From birth, children have a natural born instinct to suck in order to get nourishment. This sucking feeling, or suction, over time becomes associated with warmth and comfort, and by itself, provides pleasure. Our finger and thumb sucking guards do not prevent the thumb or finger from going in the mouth, but they do prevent suction from forming, so there’s no longer any pleasure left in the habit. Without the pleasure, children have no incentive to continue. This finger and thumb sucking deterrent helps them break the habit quickly and pain-free.

As cute as they look, thumb and finger sucking are bad practices that can ultimately result in health problems later in development, particularly affecting the jaw. It is important to quickly correct these destructive behaviors before they can cause permanent, and expensive, damage. With our finger and thumb sucking guards, the urge to continue these detrimental habits becomes a thing of the past. When you require products to stop finger sucking in its path, choose TGuard, the number one dentist recommended anti-thumb and finger sucking device. Deter your child in 30 days or less, and invest in a plastic thumb or finger guard today.

WHAT'S SO BAD ABOUT THUMB SUCKING?

Thumb sucking can cause a whole host of health and social problems for your child. Learn more.

Prolonged sucking can affect the development of the teeth and jaw. Called “malocclusion”, this condition is very serious and the dental work required to fix it can cost hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars.

Dental Work

Expensive dental work may be required to fix the damage done to the teeth and jaw.

Thumb sucking is a very convenient focus for bullies, and can be the source of serious social trauma. Worse, the stress from being bullied compels children to suck more, which creates a self-reinforcing loop.

Bullying

Thumb Sucking can be a source of teasing.

Every time your child puts their thumbs or fingers in their mouth, they also introduce all of the germs they picked up since they last sucked. This causes frequent illness.

Frequent Illness

Children are far more likely to get sick when they are putting dirty thumbs and fingers in their mouth.

With a thumb in their mouth, children are less likely to engage with adults and peers. This effectively slows their social development.

Social Development

A thumb in the mouth prevents the child from speaking.

I used your appliance [T-Guard] on my six year old daughter. I had tried to curb her thumb sucking habit through educating her on its detrimental effects to her dentition. When she was willing to try and discontinue her habit, I tried using a fixed habit appliance. After 6 months with her fixed appliance she was still trying to suck her thumb. She was my toughest case. Then I . . . used your T-Guard thumb habit appliance. In 1 week I removed her fixed appliance. Within 3 weeks her habit completely stopped. Your appliance worked great. My daughter said it was comfortable and she found it highly effective in curbing not only her ability to suck her thumb, but also her desire to suck her thumb.

. . . I had the opportunity to give this kit [T-Guard] to a 12 year old child that has sucked his thumb from birth. His habit has caused a significant change in his oral structures. His mom has tried everything including a fixed orthodontic device which he was currently wearing. He had had it for several months – his mom reports that it did not slow him down a bit. After four days with your appliance [T-Guard] the mom called ecstatic with glee because her son stopped his habit. . .

Dr. Jay Levitt

I can never thank you enough for this amazing product. I bought it for one of my daughter after I wait 4 years for her to stop on her own. I tried everything nothing has worked. when she went to the dentist, the dentist told me to do something her tooth is getting deform. I finally decided to buy it after I read the review. one week only , it only took her one week to stop sucking on her thumb. thank you so much for this amazing invention.

Even though my son was only 18mths old i wanted to stop his constant thumbsucking habit. i found your product through practicon dental supply. Initially i was very skeptical, but he quit sucking in about 3 weeks, the appliance was a little big for his hand but it still worked. being a children’s dentist, i now have a relatively inexpensive resource for my patients.
